"The U.S.S. Makorra is like a luxury cruise vessel - no cannons on board this ship, just fine dining, dancing, and sexy parties. Although we might have Bolin tied up in the back 'cause, ya know, everyone's a smexBolin shipper. We just want to collectively say that we're shipping Makorra for the lulz. No wars, bra. No wars."chromeknickers

God bless this Makorra club forever and everything on it! It makes me happy to look at it to get my mind of the Book 4 ending I don't like Korrasami sorry I'm staying a Makorra fan forever they'll always be my OTP couple no matter what who's with me?

Hello there. Please allow me to say how much I support you and this group. I have to say, when I found out about the ending, I was greatly disappointed and it felt like my heart just dropped. While I wouldn't say I was the biggest Avatar or Legend Of Korra fan, it was very admirable and I liked the shows for not taking itself too seriously at time. It strived to be something that we all can admire.........to be entertainment, for something children and even young adults can watch and laugh for a few minutes. Sadly, Legend Of Korra was cancelled on Nick and played online. At least that's what I heard. Anyway, it was very disheartening to learn how the creators turned this wonderful show into some political statement, how they turned this innocent form of entertainment into a 'popularity" game and "shipping' wars" fiasco. Learning about the ending, it felt forced, not to mention force-feeding the gay lifestyle down people's throat. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT anti-gay, I don't believe in hating or discriminating against anyone for being who they are. That's not for us to judge, but God if he's up there. But I truly felt it was selfish and arrogant of the creators to put a political statement like that in a children's show that many had admired. This has now turned into an issue that has caused division in the fans, and that really breaks my heart. Some parents don't want to worry about explaining to the children about gay characters on a children's cartoon show, and they shouldn't have to be made to unless they are comfortable with it. No matter what the creators said on their sites, this WAS about fanservice, this WAS about getting popularity, attention, and be praised for being "pro-gay". While it is admirable that gay people are being treated with a little more respect, as all people should, it was really sad it had to come to this....pushing homosexuality in a children's show. But it's good to see that people are still holding on to Korra with Mako, despite the ending. Thank you for this group, and I hope you go a long way.

It's nice to know that there are a lot of people who were upset with the ending. I feel like the worst part about it is that Bryke are now near gods on Tumblr nad the ending basically made it impossible for you to criticize the show because you'll just be called a bigot homophobe. And what makes me just as mad was all the new articles praising it, we all know full well that these journalists didn't know anything about the show until the ending. For myself, while I do feel like homosexuality is immoral, gay people should be offended as well for how terrible this pairing is and how laughably stereotyped it is. I mean, they had Korra get a butch haircut! This is why I hate shipping wars, its fun when no one takes it seriously but Avatar took it too far.

Yeah, probably, but we'll never really know. But at this point, I just don't care. At first, it was a shock and it really broke my heart, but now....it's just a dull ache. I honestly don't care about the creators, Bryan and Mike, I don't care about the show, and I don't even care about Nickelodeon anymore. All I'm doing is supporting slightly Mako and Korra, and that's it. Mike and Bryan can go to Hell. So let's just drop it, it's done, it's over.

There's homosexuality in several children shows. Just look at Sailor Moon, which came out in the early 90s. I honestly don't care what kind of a statement Bryke was trying to make. I like Korrasami and I like Makorra. To me, the finale was open-ended. It definitely pleased Korrasami fans, who I'm happy for, but it doesn't completely sink Makorra, either. We don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe Makorrasmi? Heh. Well, whatever the case, we still have fanfiction and fanart. People should just learn not to take ships so personally.

That could be a point. Though in retrospect, in interviews while Naoko said that Sailor Uranus and Neptune were lovers, she said that it was based on a "pure friendship" and joked that it was because they were older and "had more time for fun like that". She often stated that Michiru didn't like unkept men and in the anime, Haruka even stated that she didn't like "flashy" men....meaning she didn't mind some men actually. But hey, it's all in the way we accept it, ne? From what I understand, while there was a big explosion of fanart and such for Korrasami, there was still quite a bit of people that were unhappy with this and still holding on to Mako and Korra. I'm glad for them. Anything can happen, and like you said, there's always fanart and fanfiction, and some of them come out even better than what the show or book portrays. I'm not happy, glad, or mad at Korrasami fans. It's just the way it is. Most of them are just followers anyway, those "HEY! Look at me, I like Korrasami and gay people too! I'm making Korrasami fanart too! Aren't I cool? Don't you think I'm cool because I agree with everyone else too? Tee hee, tee hee!" people here on Deviant Art anyway. While I don't agree with harming or discriminating against gays, I'm not one of those bubble-headed yaoi and yuri fangirls either that want to bang their drums and scream about how cool homosexuality is, and calling everyone who don't agree with them homophobes. I admire and prefer traditional marriage and love between a man and woman, but does that make me a homophobe? No, it doesn't. Anyway, you do have a point, perhaps it's better to think of it as open-ended. Anything can happen.

Given the series finale and the confirmation that Bryke just posted on tumblr, there is something I would like to say. I like both Makorra and Korrasami. I was hardcore Makorra in books 1 and 2. I still would have been okay if the series ended with it. I did, however, start to like Korrasami during book 3 and I love it now. I am also a Zutarian so I know how it feels to not have your pairing become canon. But please, don't hate on Korrasami or the fans. Bryan said on his tumblr post that he became a Korrasami shipper very early on and that it was NOT just fanservice. I don't go attacking Kataangers. Just celebrate the Makorra that we had and the ending of the series as a whole.

I can't speak for individuals, but us admin would never think of hating on Korrasami and their fans, and there is absolutely no hate on here. Each of us love Asami and have always held a great fondness for Korrasami. I'm more than pleased at the ending. To me, it was open-ended. Makorra could happen again, or not at all, and I'm fine with that. That's what we have fanfiction and fanart for.
